Many thanks to 'Fixitnow' for the 2 boxes of typewriter and adding machine service manuals. They are of great interest to me.

and also to Nymrod121 (Guy) for the very generous gift of an immaculate Samsung smartphone, and even for paying the postage. I'm very grateful indeed!

Many thanks to Mark (Mark-in-manc) for transporting the HP scope all the way from Essex to Manchester. Thanks also to Dave for getting it to Marks address in Essex. Scope working fine.

Thanks due to Ed Dinning for the Ekco A160 chassis, received all good today, dial glass and grille have survived and there's even 4 of the valves in place so not far off working in the big scheme of things. As described, unrestored down to the power cord and spider webs

Cheers,

electronicskip · 25th Apr 2019, 5:07 pm

Big thanks to trh01uk (Richard) for the military goodies I collected today.
Nice to meet you.

bikerhifinut · 25th Apr 2019, 5:39 pm

Thanks to Nigel, (Vinylspinner) for going well out of his way to deliver the Ron Smith FM aerial. Was good to catch up and have a yarn, hope you made it back ok.

Andy.

ekjdm14 · 25th Apr 2019, 6:16 pm

More thanks due from me, firstly to Joe (The Pillenwerfer) for the booklets. Already come in useful for confirming valve substitutes & doubtless will again. Which brings me on nicely to thanking both Jerry (CathodeRay57) for digging up a UL46 from his stash, & also David (captainpugwash) for finding me a potentially good UL41.

Thank you all very much. Will hopefully end up making a "success story" of the A160 resurrection

Reelman · 25th Apr 2019, 7:52 pm

Many thanks to llama (Graham) for the DIN plugs just received.
Very pleased as they are much better quality than the ones I occasionally see nowadays.
Would not even let me pay for postage, another great example of forum membership behaviour.
Cheers!
Peter
